Based on the current CDC guidance regarding local COVID-19 Community Levels, we will lift our mask requirement for visitors and staff. This change is based on the most current CDC guidance and information regarding transmission levels for Dekalb and Fulton counties, which can be viewed here. Since both Fulton and DeKalb counties are at a medium Community Level, masks are strongly recommended but not required for students, staff, and families on Drew’s campus. As we continue to interact in ways that feel more like our pre-pandemic environment, it’s important to remember that we all have different perspectives about relaxing our mitigation practices. Please respect and support one another as we move forward.
Thank you for continuing to provide the best possible learning experience for our students. Take care, and we look forward to seeing you on Monday.
If your student has been testing with Viral Solutions over the past few weeks, they are already in the system and there is no need for them to opt-in again.Stay safe!
